Most declines arejust bad timing.

Every decline is evaluated in real time to decide whether to retry, reroute, or stop; recovering more payments without unnecessary retries.

Some declines say“not yet.”Some say “never.”

Every decline is analyzed before deciding whether to retry, reroute, or stop.

Soft declines

Issuer said "not now," not "never." A velocity flag or a transient hold, and the single biggest pool of recoverable revenue.

Acquirer / network error

The failure is on the path, not the card. Cascade the same charge to a healthy acquirer and it usually lands.

Issuer timeout

No answer from the issuer in time. Almost always worth an immediate, idempotent retry on the same rail.

Expired / updated card

Card details moved on. Network tokens and account updater refresh them in place, no email to the customer.

Insufficient funds

Alternative payment methods available.

Hard declines

Stolen, closed, do-not-honor. These do not get retried, chasing them burns scheme quota and annoys issuers.

How recovery works

Anyone can retry.The hard part isknowing when.

Retries happen only when they have a higher chance of succeeding.

Recover Lost Revenue
  1. Classify

    Read the decline.

    Every decline is analyzed to determine whether it should be retried, rerouted, or stopped.

  2. Schedule

    Retry when it'll land.

    Retries happen only when timing and conditions improve the chance of success.

  3. Cascade

    A second acquirer.

    If one provider fails, the payment is automatically routed to the next best available one.

  4. Respect

    Inside the rules.

    Every retry follows card scheme rules, merchant policies, and compliance requirements.

Recovery strategies

Six ways toget paid anyway.

Choose ready-made retry strategies or create your own.

Smart retry scheduling

Each retry timed to the decline reason and the issuer's patterns. Instant, hours out, or aligned to payday, never a fixed cron that wastes attempts.

Scheme-rule guardrails

Visa and Mastercard retry caps, idempotency keys, and consent are all enforced automatically, so recovery never trips a fine or a block.

Provider cascade

When a rail fails, the charge moves to the next-best acquirer, ranked by live approval rate and re-scored continuously.

Dunning for subscriptions

Failed renewals worked over a recovery window, with quiet retries first and a customer nudge only when one is actually needed.

Network tokens & updater

Expired or reissued cards refreshed in place through network tokens and account updater, so a stale number never costs you the renewal.

Recovery rules

Every recovery rule is yours to configure by segment, geography, or value, and anything you change can be rolled back in one click.

A processor's bad dayshouldn't be yours.

Live acquirer state

Failures stay invisible.

Customers see successful payments, not processor outages.

A recovery, step by step

One decline. Four moves. Paid.

Retry and reroute automatically.

Recovery rules

You set the limits. It does the chasing.

Set retry limits and recovery rules.
